Tech Tunnel (~focus): "I’d probably give up my cellphone. Probably not food. That’s really tough. I like food."RYAN HOLT, a 21-year-old student at the University of Northern Colorado, on the sacrifices he would make to buy a great video game. NYTimes.com quotation of the day for 29 April 2008.

True Terms: Just discovered a new (to me anyway) disagreable term in my bank's new mandatory agreement for online services; specifically, "... (I do) hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waive any right ... to a trial by jury with respect to any ..., or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements or actions ... (with this bank)."

And I thought the right to a trial by jury of one's peers was guaranteed by the US Constitution -- of course, I guess I can agree to forsake that right if it is mandatory to have an online account. See True Terms — the short form.
